The Secret Life Of Words * Isabel Coixet (2005)

We follow the mysterious Hanna who is sent on holidays by her boss. Instead of the advised rest, Hanna ends up on an oil rig where the larger part of the film plays. Hanna does not reveal herself, but when she eventually does, everything becomes clear. “The Secret Life Of Words” is a rather mediocre drama, but with an original setting and a hard message. This does lift the film above the 2,5 stars that I would have given it if those elements had missed.
